I doubt that you would have been so patient if it were preventing you from putting together a 100,000 sq ft deal. Are I reading too much into it?<br />I am very patient and have waited in many lines myself. I have met some nice people in them as well. I have also smelled and seen some pretty terrible sights and smells. I love democracy but let's be realistic. The DMV and Post office lines are filled with the good, the bad and the ugly. If you enjoy the experience, you should visit the Walmart in Dundalk. You will be delighted with the mixture of Americans of every economic, social, racial, religious and cultural mixture on the face of the earth.<br />I'm a compassionate guy who loves and wishes well for his fellow man and woman but I do love the internet to avoid lines.<br />HHAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35921470.post-45137291110617425162009-11-04T22:58:43.503-05:002009-11-04T22:58:43.503-05:00Nice piece, pretty insightful and leaves the reade...Nice piece, pretty insightful and leaves the reader with some faith in humanity and the USPS. <br /><br />I wrote an article about the DMV once while I occupied one of their uncomfortable metal chairs waiting for my number to come up on the big board. The basic thesis was that the DMV is the new Ellis Island. In the 90 minutes or so I spent there I spoke several dialects of English, Mandarin Chinese, Vietnamese and Spanish, trying to converse with others, also waiting for their number to come up, around me. Fun stuff. (The DMV has gotten much better at moving people along, BTW IMHO.)<br /><br />Yep, public spaces, the great mixing bowl of our democracy. I have to admit, last time I had to do something with the DMV I did it online in a few minutes and didn't have to bother with anyone. Food for thought.<br /><br />(WARNING: If you get an iPhone or a Droid, you will quickly find out that you can use these enforced waits to update your Facebook page or blog.
